One of the things I am most proud of about my business is the community I've built. Very magical things have happened inside this community, and it has become a safe place for all sorts of gifts to be developed. I know how important having a supportive engaged group is to my members from my own experience, so I want to share this interview with Sandra de Freitas for those of you who are also building your own communities. Sandra is a community expert who helps entrepreneurs grow, engage and monetize their Facebook groups. She has her hands in over 300 Facebook groups, she's been part of six and seven figure launches, and has been an online entrepreneur for 16 years. She is someone I personally worked with when I was building my membership program!
